Fenced area The fenced area must be suitably fenced and completely separated from public traffic. There is no definition of a fenced area, but court cases show that what is decisive is that the public or unauthorized traffic should not enter the area. The public should therefore not be able to accidentally drive into the area, and those driving within the area should also not be able to accidentally drive out of it. The cordon must be effective and the fenced area must be clearly demarcated for other road users. It can be important for the requirements for the enclosure if you are in the middle of a built-up area or far out in the countryside without other buildings and busy roads nearby. If you are unsure whether a place can be recognized as a fenced area, you can contact the County Administrative Board in the locality for advice. Keep in mind that: A track like this, permanent or temporary, may need examination according to the Environmental Code. Contact the municipality or county, administrative board. Permission from the landowner is needed If it is about driving on bare ground, an off-road driving dispensation is needed. Contact the county administrative board. "
